I have always used my old t5 crossmember, but now the engine/transmission sit lower. The transmission has to be lifted for the crossmember to go in. I am afraid it would be too much pressure, although it seem to go back to natural resting level once mounted. The problem is it is solid mount to the crossmember to fit, no rubber/poly. The engine is on motorplates, so I need something that allows room for poly/rubber mounts.

Any opinion on the thickness of the rubber/poly mounts? I used to just use what is essentially a rubber pad. I am just not sure if I should try to go to a thicker poly mount? I need to check but the rubber pad guessing by memory might be .75" roughly.

Anyone have suggestions on a good aftermarket unit?

I have used the t-5 cross member for years with my 460/c4 combo. The engine sits on solid mounts, the cross member is has been converted to a solid mount, and the transmission sits on a rubber mount. I also have to lift my transmission to get the cross member bolted in, then I can lower my transmission onto the cross member. I've never had any issues.
